Building the Next Wave of Independent Ventures.

1. Processing & Intake Policy: Idea and invention submissions require a non-refundable $5.00 administrative processing and storage filter fee. Verified corporate and strategic partnership applications are processed free of charge. Neither submission type creates a fiduciary relationship, joint venture, or automatic partnership with SC Capital Ventures ("Company").

2. Non-Confidentiality & Independent Development: All submissions and partnership proposals are received on a non-confidential basis. Company develops numerous internal projects across clean energy, fintech, gaming, hospitality, and media. Submitter acknowledges that Company may already be developing similar concepts and waives any claim of misappropriation based on similarity.

3. Option for Outright Acquisition / No Obligation of Public Association ("Optics & Distance Clause"): If Company elects to utilize, license, or acquire a submitted concept, such acquisition shall be structured, at Company's sole election, as an outright Intellectual Property Assignment or Work-Made-For-Hire buyout. Submitter expressly agrees that Company has zero obligation to offer Submitter an executive role, equity partnership, board seat, ongoing co-branding, or public credit/association. Company retains full sole control over brand optics and may require strict non-disclosure of Submitter's involvement as a condition of any buyout payment.

4. Mandatory Binding Arbitration & Class Action Waiver: Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Submission or Partnership Inquiry, intellectual property ownership, compensation, or breach thereof shall be resolved exclusively by confidential, binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules in the State of Georgia.
